Time Variations

This paper offers two interlinked contributions in the field of vibration absorption. The first involves an active tuning of an absorber for spectral and spatial variations. The second contribution is a set of generalized design guidelines for such absorber operations. “Spectral” tuning handles time-varying excitation frequencies, while “spatial” tuning treats the real-time variations in the desired location of suppression. Both objectives, however, must be achieved using active control and without physically altering the system components to ensure practicality. Spatial tuning is inspired by the concept of “noncollocated vibration absorption,” for which the absorber location is different from the point of suppression. This concept is relatively under-developed in the literature, mainly because it requires the use of part of the primary structure (PS) as the extended absorber—a delicate operation. Within this investigation, we employ the delayed resonator (DR)-based absorber, a hybrid concept with passive and active elements, to satisfy both tuning objectives. The presence of active control in the absorber necessitates an intriguing stability investigation of a time-delayed dynamics. For this subtask, we follow the well-established methods of frequency sweeping and D-subdivision. Example cases are also presented to corroborate our findings.

Experimental Process

A novel and simple near-field electrospinning (NFES) method has been developed to fabricate wavy or helical nanofibrous arrays. By alternating the electrostatic signals applied on auxiliary-electrodes (AE), the structural parameters of deposited patterns can be actively controlled. Compared with the traditional electrospinning methods based on the bending and buckling effects or collector movement, the proposed method shows advantages in the controllability, accuracy, and minimal feature size. Forces operating on the electrospinning jet and the time-varying electric field distribution were analyzed to explain the kinematics of the jet. Nanoscale wavy and helical patterns with various structural parameters were fabricated. The effects of experimental process parameters on structural parameters of deposited patterns were analyzed to demonstrate the controllability of our method in fabricating wavy or helical nanofibrous structures. It is envisioned that this method will benefit the applications in the field of photovoltaic devices, sensors, transducers, resonators, and stretchable electronics.

General Configuration

The nonlinear harmonic method (NLH) and its extension to the modeling of the clocking effects can simulate the unsteady flows in multistage machines at drastically reduced CPU costs. The blade row interactions that are reproduced are those between adjacent rotors and stators and also between successive rotors or successive stators. At an additional level of complexity, it appears that in stator1 / rotor / stator2 configurations the amplitude of the perturbation associated with a blade passing frequency (BPF) in a row is not only created by the adjacent row but is also modified in space by the interaction of the periodic disturbances coming from the other two rows. For instance, the spatial modes of the periodic disturbance in stator2 are provoked not only by the interaction with the adjacent rotor but also by an additional interaction with the periodic flow coming from stator1. The present paper introduces a method that enables the identification of these modes for a general configuration row1 / row2 / row3. Any row can be a stator or a rotor and the time-varying disturbances are not only produced by the interaction with the adjacent row but also with the other rows. In particular, this is validated and illustrated for the calculation of the unsteady effects provoked in contra-rotating open rotors (CROR) by the engine pylon. Results are also shown for stator/rotor/stator configurations that shows the effects of clocking on the time harmonics.

Coefficient Vector

The paper considers rejection of unmatched general periodic disturbances with time-varying gains for a class of nonlinear systems. The period of the periodic disturbances is known, the gains of the disturbances depend on the output of the system, and the coefficient vector of the disturbance input channel is not assumed to be a Hurwitz vector. A novel filtered transformation is presented. Based on the filtered transformation, an adaptive output feedback control law is proposed, which guarantees that the output of the closed loop system converges to zero.
